Vigo County, IN – All westbound lanes of Interstate 70 in Vigo County were closed Friday afternoon following a massive pileup involving as many as 50 vehicles, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT).
Indiana State Police Public Information Officer Sgt. Matt Ames said there have been no major injuries reported, though the crashes caused significant congestion and delays. The incident occurred near the Tabortown Street exit, west of Indianapolis, where snow-covered roads and low visibility contributed to multiple collisions.
According to INDOT, the closure is expected to last roughly six hours as emergency crews clear wrecked vehicles and treat icy conditions. Drivers traveling through western Indiana are being urged to seek alternate routes or delay travel until conditions improve.
Traffic camera footage shows dozens of cars and semi-trucks at a standstill along the westbound lanes, with snow continuing to fall across the area. Local authorities are coordinating with tow services to remove disabled vehicles and reopen the interstate as soon as possible.
Motorists can check live updates on INDOT’s traffic map or follow Indiana State Police on social media for the latest road conditions.
